Contribuição metodológica para determinação de despesas individuais com transporte urbano

Abstract

Urban mobility is achieved through transport policies aimed to improve the movement of people in urban space, through the prioritization of collective and nonmotorized modes of transport in an effective, socially inclusive and ecologically sustainable way. Trying to analyze one of the main factors that influence urban mobility in an area, this paper aims to elaborate a methodology to obtain individual expenses with urban transportation in a given area, to apply it in a study area belonging to the State of Rio de Janeiro and additionally make comparisons of the expense with other variables such as income, gender, age, activity, education degree, car ownership, among others. Among the main results it can be mentioned that 12.15% of the average monthly income of the individual is spent with urban transport, considering those that present non-zero displacements and the value of 7.74% for the entire RMRJ population. From the determination of the average individual expenditure with urban transportation in the area where the procedure is applied, it is expected to change and encourage new urban planning policies, interconnecting the territory planning areas (with more decentralized definitions of workplaces) and the existing and future transport infrastructure contributing to improve the population life quality.
